Fractured Fairy Tales October 1962

Fractured Fairy Tales (the cartoon), for those that may not know, appeared as a feature on the great Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (Jay Ward, creator - 1959-1964). The following stories, adapted from the wonderful cartoons, appeared in Fractured Fairy Tales No. 1 (of 1). Al Kilgore, who normally drew all the Bullwinkle and Rocky titles for Dell and Gold Key, only did the cover here and the story scripts. The artwork is actually Mel Crawford (Grand Comic Book Database).

Karswell: Absolutely no question. The voice actors for FFT and the Rocky and Bullwinkle show absolutely put this show over the top. In reading this comic, I kept hearing the cartoon voices: Paul Frees, Julie Bennet, etc. I think I will post the rest of this comic just to remember the cartoon!

Mykal--i've had this comic for years and love it's faithfulness to the style/art of the actual cartoons. I see a number of people didn't know about it's existence,soooo-i'm really glad you posted it and hope you'll be putting up the rest of it. Interestingly,the artwork in this comic is even better (at least in my opinion) than the R&B comics for the most part. keep up the good work--------DJA
